September key update for anyone taking statins for high cholesterol

Comments

1. Iris Ellis: so what about the 5% who saw no difference in their heart disease risk?
2. Iris: not exactly a bombshell but interesting that they're finally linking dosage to efficacy
3. Wraith Kite: can't believe they're only talking about the cholesterol aspect, what about heart patients who take statins for arrhythmia?
4. Arlos: hope statin use becomes a more nuanced conversation, considering both short-term benefits and long-term effects like this one
5. Petrovfreya: you're still prescribing these things without a personal conversation though
6. Echo Echo: still waiting for them to reveal what 'major' actually means in this context, anyway
7. Mayae: can't believe they're just now mentioning Simvastatin in a major study
